Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 460

"Isn't it obvious when someone has a crush?" Shirley said, nudging Effie with a knowing smile. "I told you last time, didn't I?"

Effie kept her thoughts to herself. Shirley wasn't exactly a mind reader-she got it wrong plenty of times. Maybe this was just another misfire.

Still, that limited edition doll really was adorable.

After clocking out for the day, Shirley headed to the bus stop for her long ride home. As she made her way down the quiet street, she suddenly felt the prickling sensation that someone was following her. She glanced over her shoulder, but the sidewalk behind her was empty.

"That's odd," she muttered. "Am I just imagining things?"

Shaking her head, she boarded the bus. Nearly an hour later, she finally stepped off at her stop, weary but relieved to be home.

But as soon as her feet hit the pavement, the feeling came rushing back- someone was definitely trailing her this time.

She clutched her purse, spun around, and came face-to-face with Suzan.

Shirley froze. Wasn't Suzan always boasting about her fancy lifestyle? What was she doing in this neighborhood?
